VALUE controllers
The following VALUE controllers are used to set
the value of the selected parameter (
☞
p.15).
[VALUE] slider
Use this to modify the value of a parameter. This
controller is convenient when you wish to make
large changes in the value.
This slider can also be used as a modulation
source.
VALUE [ ][ ] keys
These are used to increase or decrease the parame-
ter value in steps of one. It is convenient to use
these to make fine adjustments.
[VALUE] dial
Use this dial to modify the value of the parameter.
Numeric keys [0] – [9], [ENTER] key,
[–] key, [./HOLD] key
Use these keys to numerically input a parameter
value. Use numeric keys [0]–[9], the [–] key, and
the [./HOLD] key to enter the value, and press the
[ENTER] key to confirm it. The [./HOLD] key lets
you input a value with a decimal point. The [–] key
inverts the sign (+/–) of the parameter value.
In addition, [./HOLD] can be used if you wish to
select sounds by category in program or combina-
tion mode.
By holding down the [ENTER] key and pressing a
numeric key [0]–[9], you can select up to ten utility
menu commands for the current page.
The [ENTER] key is also used when setting the
KARMA Realtime Controls knobs, switches, and
keys. (

[COMPARE] key

of the program or combination that you are cur-
rently editing with the un-edited sound that was
written into memory. You can also use this key to
make “before and after” comparisons when
recording or editing in Sequencer mode (
☞
p.15).
When you operate the KARMA Realtime Controls
knobs [1]–[8] or switches [1]/[2] in Program, Com-
bination, Sequencer, and Song Play modes, press-
ing the [COMPARE] key will revert to the values
